GSTIN format validator

Catch typos before you put a GSTIN on an invoice or in a return. This checks the format and check digit only — to confirm a GSTIN is registered and active, use Search Taxpayer on the GST portal.

How a GSTIN is structured

  • Characters 1–2: state code of the registration.
  • Characters 3–12: the PAN of the business or person.
  • Character 13: entity number for that PAN within the state.
  • Character 14: "Z" by default.
  • Character 15: a check character calculated from the first 14.
